Dynatrace offers Custom Service Entry Points , which virtually breaks the monolith and provides valuable information about whether organizations should break out certain pieces of the monolith. Additionally, typical SOA models use larger relational databases. VMs require their own operating system and take up additional resources.

Unfortunately, container security is much more difficult to achieve than security for more traditional compute platforms, such as virtual machines or bare metal hosts. These products see systems from the “outside” perspective—which is to say, the attacker’s perspective. Harden the host operating system.

You will still have to maintain your operating system, SQL Server and databases just like you would in an on-premises scenario. In exchange for this, your databases and applications will work just the same as they would in an on-premises installation, which makes this an easy way to start using Azure. Esv3-series.

WiredTiger excels with operational databases and transactional workloads as it offers b-tree-based storage and well-ordered data structures. However, due to its reliance on the virtual memory subsystem, it is not suitable for larger datasets. However, keep in ming that it does not release space to the operating system.
